The average cost for a state to state vehicle shipping company is $0.70 per mile for 1000-1500 miles.

The factors that impact the cost to transport a car
to another state include:
Distance
When you ship a car to another state, longer distances tend to cost more overall, but there is usually a discounted cost per mile.
Pick-up date
If you can be flexible around the car pick-up date, you’re more likely to get a fair quote. Booking in advance will also secure the best possible price for shipping your car to another state.
Route
This relates to the roads and highways the carrier will use when transporting a vehicle to another state. Increased congestion in highly populated areas could impact shipping costs. Other factors include adverse weather, road construction, and road conditions.
Vehicle (Make and Model)
You need to provide exact vehicle specifications when you transport a car from state to state. The carrier needs to know how much space is required. Longer, taller, and modified vehicles may cost more.
Vehicle condition
You will get a better shipping price to transport a vehicle from one state to another if your vehicle is running. Inoperable vehicles require a winch and other equipment, which add to the cost.
Transport method
Open car transport is the industry standard and the cheapest way to send a car to another state. Enclosed auto transport provides extra protection as the transport trailer is surrounded on all sides. This increases the cost but gives you complete peace of mind if your car is unique, luxury, custom, antique, or classic.
Seasonality
The cost to transport a car from state to state varies considerably, depending on the time of year. Holidays, for example, can be an expensive time to ship a car to another state.
Discount
Discounts are available for certain customers who want to transport a car from state to state. These include members of the military (both active and retired), snowbirds, and students. Check with our shipping advisors whether you are eligible.
